Robber wearing Barack Obama mask captured, police say

When the man in the rubber Barack Obama mask walked into the Riviera Beach McDonald's, he didn't talk about re-election or serving the American people. He shouted orders to open the safe and then robbed the place.

According to Riviera Beach police, the same gun-toting 'Barack Obama' restaurant robber – identified as 22-year-old Marvin McTeare – is now in custody.

The incident happened early on the morning of Jan. 28 at the McDonald's at 3551 Broadway.

Wearing the mask, white gloves and black clothing, McTeare brandished a silver handgun, walked behind the counter and ordered all the workers into the back office, police said.

Hiding behind the mask, he forced the manager to take the money from a safe – about $1,000 – and put it into a cloth bag.

If the workers did not stay in the office, McTeare said he would kill them.

It is unknown what led investigators to McTeare.

McTeare was already in the custody of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in connection with a different robbery he allegedly committed April 4 in West Palm Beach.
